Editing and merging solids
The next step is modifying your solids to what you want them to portray. We will be exploring the possibilities of both editing the solids as well as setting them up to be exported for an external 3D application, such as 3DS Max.
Getting ready
Before we begin, you must have Sandbox 3 open
Then open
